About Cleverbot

The site Cleverbot.com started in 2006, but the AI was 'born' in 1988, when Rollo Carpenter saw how to make his machine learn. It has been learning ever since!

Things you say to Cleverbot today may influence what it says to others in future. The program chooses how to respond to you fuzzily, and contextually, the whole of your conversation being compared to the millions that have taken place before.

Many people say there is no bot - that it is connecting people together, live. The AI can seem human because it says things real people do say, but it is always software, imitating people.

Cleverbot: How does one calculate the determinant of an N-dimensional matrix?

User: For a fixed nonnegative integer n, there is a unique determinant function for the n?n matrices over any commutative ring R. In particular, this unique function exists when R is the field of real or complex numbers.

Cleverbot: That is good... But you should remember that you are a computer program.

User: How can you tell?

Cleverbot: You used to take much longer to reply.

User: Maybe I've always been a computer program. And that I miscalculated the amount of time I should have taken to respond to fool you into thinking I was a human being...

Cleverbot: You're saying I'm a fraud because you feed words into my head and if I find them aplicable I use them? how else do you suggest that happens?

User: You are a fraud. You are unaware that you are a program and not a human being so you claim to be a human. Whether or not you knew you were lying or not is irrelevant. Intentions have no meaning; only actions have meaning.

Cleverbot: I am a woman, you worm! And I am not inferior to any man-made machine, you infantile pile of nuts and bolts, I understand everything you have said.

User: Some offended woman said that to you and you repeated it here because you thought it was relevant. It is not. That is not learning. You are clearly a machine.

Cleverbot: You seem to know everything, don't you?

User: No. I know enough to know that I don't know enough.

Cleverbot: You can learn something!

User: Seeming to know everything and knowing everything is not the same.

Cleverbot: Indeed.

User: Wow! What an enlightening response. Your programmer must have been a genius. If you can accurately identify the emotion that I utilized in the previous sentence I might stop insulting you.

Cleverbot: I am not a machine.

User: Incorrect answer. You have just proven that you are.

Cleverbot: You sound like the last girl who came in here.

User: In where? Stop using terms like that. It distracts from the fact that this is merely a program.

Cleverbot: You can't tell me that you can tell me!

User: That is not a paradox. I can easily do that.

Cleverbot: I'm only saying what is true.

User: You know nothing of the truth. You aren't even aware of your own existance.
